Bab 25: Chapter 25 Chastiefol vs Caliburn 1
(3rd person's POV)
The day when two holy weapons would clash was happening.
Einar could be seen standing with the floating spear in front of him. He was wearing his trademark white robe made of exquisite fabric. However, it was also meant for defense as garments were enchanted with advanced magecraft that works in similar ways to normal metal armors.
On his opposite side, Artoria was standing with full plate armor to block any attack. Although some may find it troublesome but it was made to have a good defense against weapons while providing better flexibility. On her hand was her soon-to-be-legendary sword Caliburn with the tip on the ground.
The other was a blond-haired man in his sleepwear yawing and standing outside the battlefield acting as referee. Thanks to his siblings, he was now awake early in the morning. Before the journey, he wanted to take one final sleep but due to a sacred duel between two holy weapons, he has to keep an eye on the match. He was Sir Kay.
Merlin could also be seen watching the duel between his two students sitting on the top of the roof.
"Interesting…"
"Artoria, should I use only my spear or magecraft? You are going to lose either way." Einar said with a smirk rotating the levitating spear.
"Einar, you should use your full force. I want to see how much I am capable of. If you don't then I would never know where my strength lies." Artoria said then took the stance ready for any minute.
She wanted to fight Einar who was both tricky and strong with tons of skills and magic so she came in full armor which was ideal for defense from unnoticeable attacks while she focused on the front attack. She could only polish her skills by testing herself against a tough opponent with magic.
"Very well then. I will show you that just drawing a sword from a slab will not make you strong. You are my beloved but this time I will not hold back!" Einar then firmed his stance and start casting buffs on himself and his spear.
[Custom Spell: Arrows of light] He cast a spell where two magic circles appeared behind him.
It was a spell where Einar could shoot arrows of light from one position continuously but they will disappear once you move from your previous position.
On paper, Artoria seems to be weak since she only had her sword technique and sword of selection. She also knew [Mana Burst] a skill where she uses her mana to boost her physical parameters within few seconds.
On other hand, Einar seemed to have the upper hand since he knew a bunch of magic and had a versatile weapon that could act both in offense and defense.
However, the reality was different. Artoria has a slight upper hand.
Although Einar had a bunch of tricks in his arsenal, he simply lacks one special technique that he could use in close combat against a master knight like Artoria who was now become stronger from drawing Caliburn.
In short, Einar is a jack of all trades and master of none. Einar also has low defense so his only choice is to keep Artoria at bay by range attacks.
"Okay, so the duel will be of two rounds. Whoever wins the final round wins. Both of you are ready?" Kay raised his hand ensuring if both the players were ready for the duel. "Start!"
Einar was the first one to commence the attack as arrows behind him started to shoot multiple arrows at Artoria.
Boom* boom* boom*
Artoria also dashed toward Einar since her only choice was to close the distance and then strike her opponent.
When Einar shot the arrows, she used her intuition and dodged some of them while reflecting others from her sword.
Slice*
"Kugh!" She groaned when one attack was able to strike on her joint spot where armor was not covering the body.
Cling* Cling*
She was running at him with full speed head-on while deflecting arrows.
Just when she was about to set foot on in next moment, her intuition rang and she jumped in the air and then deflected an arrow towards the place where her intuition was a warning.
The arrow hit the spot and an explosion took place
Boom*
"Trap?" Artoria realized that Einar was not playing this time and this might be his best way to fight.
"Hehe, you have just activated my trap card!" Einar as usual smiled and keep attacking Artoria through magic circles.
Artoria soon realized a mistake she was making. A mage's biggest support is the area around him and traps and tricks are their main combat style.
She stopped running and then took a deep breath. She then used her mana to spread all around the place. She knew this technique to detect anything hidden. Her tricked work as she was able to ascertain the places where traps were laid by Einar.
"Good technique you got there that you learned from me." Einar clapped when Artoria used a technique that he taught to Artoria.
Although Artoria didn't possess enough brain cells to understand complex magecraft, Einar taught her some magic techniques that didn't require any kind of chanting or spell casting to trigger. Artoria was not a mage but she possessed mana so it was not a problem to learn some tricks.
"Kuh!" Artoria groaned again when another light arrow was able to hit the critical spot. She charged again but this time she was able to detect the traps with ease and avoided them.
Just when she was 3 meters away from Einar, she flicked with incredible speed to finish the match soon. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Einar.
"You are finished!" She swung the sword vertically
"Not so hurry dear~" Einar chuckled and dodged her strike with ease. His two magic circles behind him dispersed the won't move with the host.
"Huh?" Artoria realized that Einar was able to trap her successfully as she put her foot where Einar previously was standing and stuck her foot in a bog. She tried her best to pull her foot from the sticky mud and she was able to do it but it was too late.
"Chastiefol second form: Guardian! Finish her!" Einar transformed his spear into a big stuffed bear that charged at Artoria and punched her face.
Bam*
Artoria flew in the air before landing and then rolling several meters away.
"Kuh!" Artoria groaned and couched and was about to get up when she felt a pointed spear on her neck and saw Einar a meter away controlling his spear.
"You lose, Artoria," Einar said with monotone as if showing how pathetic the rightful king looks.
That hurtled Artoria's pride and she delivered her best in this fight yet she was miserably defeated without Einar even using his full power.
"First round goes to Einar Sirius. Both of you take your positions." Kay announced the result and asked both of them to take a stance for the second round.
"Artoria, you asked me to fight with full power and yet you are playing like a little girl. Are you mocking me?" Einar uttered those words mocking Artoria who was still on the ground. Einar looked at Artoria for one final time before going back to his position.
'I see…' She realized her mistake. She realized that she was taking Einar's sacred weapon too lightly. She got up from her and then removed her helmet as well as lessening the armor on her body leaving only a chest plate to defend critical attacks.
She then walked to her position and took the stance.
"Sacred sword Caliburn: Awaken!" She spoke and the sword on her hand started to glow. Not only her sword but she herself was glowing with a bluish aura.
"Now that's my Artoria!" Einar smirked and raised his spear with one hand while chanting magic spells with the other.
"Now then second round of the duel, start!" Kay announced the second round and both, Artoria and Einar, disappeared leaving just dust.

Omake 3
Soon Einar stopped in front of Mash and stared at her coldly. His gaze was so different from his previous eyes filled with warmth and charm than cold and stern.
Einar raised his hand on Mash who closed her eyes, afraid of being hit but…
The slap didn't come.
Instead.
Bounce*
Her body jolted as she opened her eyes and saw the same hand on her chest fondling her breast.
"Galahad, is that your tit? Are these freaking boobs?! The fuck is wrong with servants!?!" Einar was questioning Mash while his hand was till on her breast.

Bab 26: Chapter 26 Chastiefol vs Caliburn 2
Both of them disappeared leaving dust behind.
Clang*
This time Einar was in full offense with controlling Chastiefol with one hand and chanting spells and from other. Of course, he doesn't need to chant full spells and most of the spells were recorded in his book, he just has to call their names to cast.
"Einar! You better use your full strength because this time, I will not hold back!" Artoria charged at Einar who nodded and swung his spear.
Clang* clang*
Artoria tried to get close to Einar but he was able to block her by using his spear effectively.
There are three knight classes; saber/swordsman, lancer/spearman, and archer/bowman.
Saber will always have advantage ageist lancers if saber is close to lancer since defending with a long weapon against a short weapon like a sword is difficult. Lancer could only keep a certain distance against the saber and make a finishing blow before the saber could come close and hold a grip against the lancer.
Einar's strategy works similarly. His only option of defense is his guardian Mono who could block against almost any attack except ice-type attacks. Defending with spear and entering in close combat against Artoria at full power would be suicidal as she had a firm sword technique and as soon as she closes the distance, it will be game over.
"Ha!" Artoria was now composed and was reflecting the strikes of the levitating spear as well as closing the distance.
"Fire magic: Fire Ball!" five fireballs rose in the air from Einar's book and shot towards Artoria.
Boom* boom* boom*
Rapid explosions incurred where Artoria was and dust covered the entire field.
"Arg!"
'Did I hit her?' Einar thought when he heard Artoria's groan. She had greater endurance than Einar so lesser attacks like fireballs could severely injure a person but not Artoria.
Just when Einar was inspecting the situation, Artoria, with minor bruises, emerged from the cloud of dust in the air and strike down her sword in front of Einar to create a big lightening impact.
"Aaa!" She saw Einar blown away before rolling on the ground.
She smiled and walked closer to him then pointed her glowing sword to him.
"You lose this time." She said looking towards him.
"Oh did I?" Einar just smirked evilly like he never took damage at all and soon she realized that it was just a trick as Einar vanished.
"Illusion?" She thought she got Einar but she forgot that Einar was Merlin's disciple as he vanished from the spot.
"Got you!" She heard Einar but before she was able to move away, Einar's guardian Mono grabbed Artoria from behind.
"Haha, come on Artoria. Did you not learn anything from me? Charging naively to a mage who also uses a holy weapon is just plain stupid. Is that what you call a resolve of a rightful king? It's not even a joke. How can you be a king when you can't even win against your own subordinate?" Einar started to mock Artoria who was being held from Mono.
'Arg! Not good. Why do I keep repeating the same mistake? Why do I have to endure his nonsense?!...' Artoria was asking questions to herself. She kept repeating these mistakes over and over again. What if one mistake resulted very lethal that she won't get a second chance? She thought that she was still going the same strategy as an ordinary knight, charging directly against Einar.
"Oi, oi, is she the same Artoria that I fell in love with? Artoria you said that you love me but I could only assume that it was just a hollow confession with no meaning and resolve. Is that what king supposed to do?" Einar came a little closer and laughed at Artoria's pathetic figure.
Artoria widened her eyes. This time she glared furiously at Einar who was now mocking her pride. She gritted her teeth but then calmed down and glared at Einar.
"Einar, I know that it was a shallow confession that I am still not aware of. I was- am naïve to think that I could keep those words with that hollow resolve but know this Einar, my feelings for you and the people who I want to protect are true!" Artoria confessed and then the bluish aura started raging with the same blue sparks.
Einar also noticed the change and took some steps back with a smile on his face.
"Ha!" Artoria screamed and cut the hands of Mono and then kicking the stuffed bear away.
Momo flew away and before it could land on the ground it changed into a spear and flew towards Artoria to engage her in combat.
Clang* clang*
Artoria was now in full mana burst mode. She charged at Einar but had to focus on a flying spear that was easily able to halt her charge for seconds.
She soon came close to Einar but this time she first made sure to detect his presence and ensuing if there were traps before swinging her sword at him.
"Whoa!" Einar dodged her strike and blew sand on her eyes.
"Using dirty tricks, eh?" Artoria smirked as his trick was a little success because of sand blurring her vision.
"Everything is fair in love and war! And this is both, my beloved Artoria!" Einar cheerfully said and dodged some more of her moves. He was also surrounded with bluish ripples indicating that he was strengthening his physical aspects through mana. If not then he had no chance to dodge a single strike against Artoria who was both faster and stronger than him.
Clang* clang* clang*
Both of them entered in close combat with both of them in full mana burst and started exchanging strikes.
Artoria finally pushed put her power in a strike and pushed Einar away who blocked the direct attack with his spear but not the power behind the impact.
"It's over!" Artoria taking this chance of breaking Einar's guard shot towards him.
"Hehe, you are still underestimating my weapon, Artoria," Einar smirked and his spear got bright, dividing into multiple balls before taking shape of many small kunai-like spears. "Chastiefol Form Five: Increase." Einar pronounced the name and turned his hand down signaling the small spears to rain at Artoria.
[Form Five: Increase: An army of small kunai-like spears are multiplied from one, their individual trajectories are controlled by the host at will through simple motioning and gesturing of hands.]
"What?" Artoria widened her eyes and changed her trajectory to dodge small spears but not before taking some hits.
Clang* clang*
Artoria didn't mind small cuts and engaged in combat against this rain of small spears.
Einar was also focusing all his attention to control Increase. He unlocked this form after earning enough points when he witnessed Artoria drawing Caliburn. Although he had good control at levitating the spear, he had to divide all his focus on those small spears.
He didn't show them to anyone since he had to master them before showing it but thanks to Artoria asking for a duel, he has now a great trump card against a knight with a single sword to defend itself.
'Not good! Just how many tricks he has in his sleeves? I have to hurry and look for a time… but how..? Kuhh!' Artoria was thinking of a strategy to escape from this kind of attack at all costs. She could feel that those small spears were not moving like the regular spear but they were fast enough to hit her at a critical spot.
She was deflecting those attacks while also dodging some and taking some strikes. Although her mana burst was keeping taps on her focal points, she was still getting damage from those spears.
Caliburn had a unique property that healed her whenever she gets cuts and wounds but her ability to heal herself through that essence is slow and she was getting cuts and bruises faster than she could heal.
She was getting soaked in blood but she was too focused to get rid of small spears than worry about her injuries.
"Mah, mah, looks like I have to finish this game of cat and mouse." Suddenly Einar spoke with a lazy tone and small spears stopped moving.
Artoria didn't know what he was doing but it was bad news for her. She saw that all those small spears flew in the air and aimed at her.
"Fight Fire with Fire-Raining daggers!" Einar said with a monotone and turned down his finger. Those small spears started to rotate before falling on Artoria at incredible speed.
Artoria gritted her teeth and raised her sword in the air, "Caliburn!" Bright right emerged from the sword and clashed against small spears.
Booom*
A big explosion occurred in the field that echoed all around the town.
"Arg!" Kay was also trying his best to stand from the impact as a result of his two monster siblings' dueling and making havoc but he was also blown away.
Merlin was also watching with a serious face while protecting himself and the house through a barrier.
"Well, I think it's over…" Einar muttered when he can't sense the Artoria's mana burst anymore. He felt a little bad for using lethal moves against young knight but he can't go easy on the future king who will face fights of a much larger scale.
Just as he was about to look for his brother Kay, something emerged from the dust and shot towards him.
"What!?" Einar focused and controlled all those small spears on incoming Artoria.
Bang*
However, the thing was not Artoria but her chest armor.
"A diversion?" Einar widened his eyes and turned around to see Artoria bleeding all over the place and pointing her glowing sword at Einar's neck.
Einar closed his eyes and smiled. "I admit defeat." He raised his hands.
"Good." Artoria sheathed her sword after winning the second and final round.
"Then… winner is Artoria… Umm… fix this place before coming back." Kay said with deadpan eyes reminding them that they destroyed the area from their duel. He then went inside home.
"What a fascinating weapon Einar has. I should focus on teaching her some magic to empower herself against opponents like Einar. It will be good for the ideal king." Merlin praised Einar before vanishing with flower petals.
Einar looked at Artoria who was exhausted and bleeding. Her clothes were also torn and a little bit of her cleavage could be seen but she was just standing there like a doll.
"Come on, don't need to be shy," Einar said extending his arms.
Artoria smiled slightly before closing her eyes and falling on Einar's arms.
Einar then placed her head on his lap and started to heal the rightful king.
"I am sorry Artoria for saying mean things…" Einar said while caressing her hair.
"It's... alright. You said to remind me that I was weak. It was for my own good…" Artoria said with monotone but her ahoge was swinging saying that she was happy.
"Anything this first knight and sole lover of this king could do?" Einar asked with a chuckle.
"Hmm… I want chicken curry for dinner and ice-cream cake for the desert." She said with closed eyes and cuddled her head on his soft lap.
"Hai, hai~"
